Project description

Biofuels, as renewable energy source, can contribute to the reduction of green house gas emissions, but also have an effect on the food production and forest management. In this research the implementation by the EU and China of international rules on biofuels, such as those in the Climate Change Convention, the Kyoto Protocol, the Convention on Biodiversity and decision-making by the Food and Agriculture Organization will be assessed.
